Keep in mind that gmail.com and outlook.com addresses are freely and routinely created by scammers and spammers. One thing that probably helps is to check someone’s posting history here and, even then, then use caution. (But beware of posts that seem kind of “generic”. Lots of forums, including this one, are getting posts from chatbots these days. We're filtering out lots of these but some may get through.)

Thank you, Dave, and the other moderators, for all the work you do behind the scenes to keep this site running, useful, spam-free, and generally a great place to visit.
